For those who have jumped on the health food train<\/a>, you\u2019ve probably heard the phrase \"raw food diet\"<\/strong> thrown about quite easily. The raw food diet might sound scary to some -- is it the kind of food our ancestors would have eaten prior to the invention of fire? We are here to disprove some of the myths and shed some light on\u00a0this growing trend<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

\"Raw food\" and \"raw vegan\"<\/span> <\/h2>

Simply put, the raw food diet means all food consumed must not have gone through a heating process of above 46 degrees celsius<\/strong>. There are two prominent branches of the raw food diet: raw food<\/strong> and raw vegan<\/strong>. Raw food allows you to eat raw fish, dairy, meat and eggs (on the whole, a diet that is easier to maintain), but a full raw vegan diet avoids all animal produces. <\/p>

All meals are either eaten raw, fermented, or put through a dehydrator at low heats. It may seem unorthodox, as we are usually taught food is safer to consume when cooked at a high temperature, but the raw food diet challenges that notion. Keeping food raw means its nutrients, minerals and natural enzymes are kept intact for your consumption<\/strong>. \u00a0Not only that, the raw food diet might improve digestion (as the food already has its share of preexisting enzymes), improve heart and liver conditions, improve bowel movements, clear up your skin<\/a>, and even help to prevent cancer. But, having a raw food diet isn\u2019t just a nutritional change; it is essentially a lifestyle that will change many aspects of your life. \u00a0<\/p>

Sounds good? Scroll back up and check some points for you to consider if you\u2019re thinking of adopting this lifestyle! \u00a0<\/p>
